Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package dry kidney beans
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 link smoked beef sausage, sliced
6 ounces frozen onion, green bell pepper, and celery mix
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 (32 ounce) carton chicken broth
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning (such as Tony Chachere's®)
¼ teaspoon ground thyme

4 cups cooked rice

Steps:

  • Place kidney beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let soak for 2 hours.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my liking.

The texture of the beans was a bit mushy for my taste.

I made this recipe in my slow cooker instead of my Instant Pot. It took a little longer, but it turned out just as good.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the beans and rice, and they don't even notice the vegetables.

I'm a fan of spicy food, so I added a diced jalapeño to this recipe. It gave the dish a nice kick without being too overpowering.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe without the ham. It was still delicious! The beans and rice were hearty and flavorful, and the vegetables added a nice crunch.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have a ham bone in my freezer, and this is the perfect way to use it up. The beans and rice are so flavorful and the ham adds a nice smoky flavor.

I've made this recipe a few times now, and it's always turned out great. The beans are always cooked perfectly and the rice is fluffy and flavorful. I love that I can just throw everything in the Instant Pot and let it do its thing.

This recipe is a lifesaver! I'm a busy mom of 3 and I don't have a lot of time to cook. This dish comes together quickly and easily in the Instant Pot, and it's always a hit with my family.
